Q

Sample of Alloy

cognitive etiology

Discuss/Evaluate a cognitive approach to explaining the etiology of one disorder.

A

non-depressed college freshmen with no other diagnosed disorders. Half of the sample had a history of clinical depression; the other half did not. The students with a history of clinical depression demonstrated no symptoms at the beginning of the study.
